Interesting as I have yet to really have this be a problem in any of my relationships. I have been with people who have continued to be friends with their ex's and I have remained friends with many of my ex's throughout my life. If a man has had a...

I unfortunately have no helpful advice, just support and good wishes. Take a deep breath and start with some of Angel Christine's suggestions. Then be patient and calm and the answers will start coming to you. I hope the best for you through this...

Profile Information

Best thing about being a Single P...
That I have an ex who is workable and shares responsibility allowing me freedoms on occasion.
I'm here for:
Friends, Networking, Dating
What are your hobbies and interests?
I love photography, reading, playing games and getting out with friends and family. I'm very involved in Girl Scouts with my girls and it keeps us pretty busy. We love to travel and tend to be up for any new experience that is offered up to us.
What type of music do you like?
I listen to all kinds of music and it depends on my mood. The last few months I've been in a mood for blues and soft rock. Come summer I will sidle more towards hard rock, classic rock and metal though.
About Me:
I am 35, single and still adjusting to that. I work hard and play as often as possible outside my many responsibilities. I like to look to the positives in life, but have to remind myself to do so daily. I love being out with friends and family and am not a big fan of sitting around watching tv. The weekends are for fun and friends, leave the rest to the work week. I prefer to have my kids involved with me, but due to all of our busy schedules this isn't as possible as we would like and we are working to change that as best we can.

A long story, but need a little help

Ok folks this is very long, but I’m in need of some good advice, especially from some dads. I am a firm believer in father’s rights, I have advocated for them many times, but I don’t do well when it comes to this situation or what I perceive as abuse to my kids.

I consider myself to be very fortunate with my youngest child’s father. He is a nice person, loves his kids and although we argue over things, he often does what is in the best interests of his children. So when I have to deal with my o… Continue

Feeling lost

I have a dream. I have a dream of being in my own business someday and not working for someone else, especially the political and beaurocratic system of which I've been a part of for 3 and a half years now. But what is it I want to do? Now there is the question.

I had it in my head (and still do mind you) to open a bar. I have great ideas for a bar that I feel would do well here in the Portland area. But I think about the hours I would most likely be working and I don't know if I want to miss t… Continue

So crazy I can't do anything but laugh.

So back in October I got rearended and it did some damage to my left arm and shoulder. This was a preexisting condition from a hit and run rearend 2 years almost to the day before. (This is what led my carpal tunnel to be bad enough for surgery to be needed).

In between these two accidents I had 3 windows broken out in my car from 3 different events in my apartment complex. A tree fell on the roof and hood of the car. All of these things were quickly and relatively easily repaired, simply annoy… Continue

Off to surgery

Well as some of you have noticed I'm finally breaking free from my shyness and starting to communicate. Howver that will stop for a bit as tomorrow morning I go to get the surgery for my carpal tunnel on my left arm. I won't be typing for a few days at least if not weeks. I might be willing to hunt and peck with the right hand so if I'm around only expect short answers.

But as it is my left hand and not the right (that's in late July) I will be mousing through things so as not to lose track of… Continue

so, in following what we talked about last night, I just recieved a packet to re-apply for ohp. It's got a small section where I can write in an explanation for good cause. Hopefully I'm doing this right.
